>Description:
The man pages for the subcommands of openssl(1) are installed in
different locations than the openssl(1) man page points to (in "SEE ALSO").
>How-To-Repeat:
Look at the "SEE ALSO" section of the openssl(1) man page. Realize
that the section-1 man pages listed there don't exist [by those names].
>Fix:
The problem appears to be in lib/libcrypto/man/libcrypto.pl. It
searches for these specifically to do a replacement on the text, so that
the resulting man pages will mention openssl_FOO(1) for each FOO(1). However,
the regexp being used does *not* match the output from pod2man. It should be
easy to fix, and if you'd rather me send a patch, I can craft one. Perhaps
someone who knows pod2man better would be better to do that.
